[Adults only]

[xp_jubilee]

So, did I miss something? Have teenager vs adult lines been drawn?

I'm pretty sure the Prof. is doing his 'letting people do their thing' non-interference thing he does but seriously.

When I came here I was one of the worst, most horrible brats you've ever encountered. If it weren't for the adults and a whole mess of help and forgiveness I'd be dead.

We don't gotta be all lovey but like, having kids feel like they're ignored or not wanted is a total power keg of bad decisions waiting to happen.

We gotta find a way to live here and with them without goin' mad, right?

Anyone got any thoughts?

A little of both. I get energy from the sugar which fuels my powers but the chemicals also make me incredibly hyper.

Wait -- all these months, we've essentially been watching porn together while your boyfriend is asleep on the couch?

...that's practically a threesome.

If by 'it' you mean 'the clap' then I totally agree.

You probably don't wanna know what I was going through at 14, dude.

Which one is Quire? I mean, Haller's still here ain't he?

Also, Hi. Jubilation Lee. I think we've talked but I'm blanking?

So you're like a human roman candle?

Looks like things have been progressing while I've been occupied with my practicum.

I agree with Jean about personal contact, though I'd suggest an end of the year barbecue or something equally informal rather than an exercise. Those interested in associating with the kids can attend, all others can give it a pass.

Not heard it that way before but basically. I think they've still got my stats on file in Medical if you were interested in getting the more detailed analysis. I've basically got different layers of fat then most people.

No, you pervert. I only said sometimes. I'll explain next time we're watching.

Merci, mon ami.

What about something during the holidays? It'd be a nice way to foster a sense of connection. Especially since a lot of the students don't have anywhere to go during the holidays.

I would be interested, actually. :) Studying mutant abilities is a hobby of mine. Especially if I can use it to help people.

[x-hawkeye.livejournal.com]

Probably not. But whatever it was, it didn't directly impact me, so I don't really care.

I am still here, though not as much as I used to be. I've been spending most of my time on continuing education in the city.

Quentin Quire is a telepath and telekinetic. I haven't spoken to him personally. Currently he needs to work on his telepathy, which isn't something I can help with right now. I think Jean has the most contact with him.

I could see if Alison and 'Nica want to work on a light show if it's a BBQ and I'm pretty sure we could get Kyle and Wade into grilling things.

I'm taking notes. My mating dance could use some updates.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

That could be really fun around New Years Eve.

Two pills takes care of that, thank you very much.

Clean slate, baby.

I don't know what Jean's been doing with him, but I know Jessica Jones has been doing some productive work with Quire. He's almost tolerable at the office nowadays.

I think Thanksgiving at the mansion is traditional. I see the kids were talking about Halloween, too.

Obviously this is contingent on personal interest, though. Adrienne's right. This needs to be a safe place, but if we start drafting the unwilling I don't see that helping either side's opinion of the other.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Wow. Yeah, that definitely seems inappropriate. Dude, how did a fourteen year-old even get your number?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Can I vote no on the 'let's make Jean give Warren stitches' plan? I'm not a big fan of giving anyone stitches at all if I can help it.

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Dude, lots of stuff don't impact me directly too.

Anyway, you don't gotta interact with the kids is what we're saying. Although if you're tutoring them, you might wanna brace yourself for some of them seeing you as 'responsible adult type'

Especially the boys - although maybe the girls too. I totally imprinted on the adults here when I was a kid. Sometimes just having someone show even the slightest shit about you when you're kinda tired and beaten down is enough to make you think 'awesome! Person who gives a shit! You're my new best role model'

[x-legion.livejournal.com]

Good to know. I'm not particularly in touch these days, so I'm not certain who's been handling his training.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

That's what I'm here for!

When you're in a better place, I could use your help with my powers. No rush, just... yeah. They're being weird again. Not dangerously so, just annoyingly so.

I legitimately have no idea. Maybe it was programmed into her Xavier's phone or something. I had number programmed into mine when Summers gave it to me.
